This pie also makes a great gift. Prepare as shown, but do not bake. Make a copy of the baking instructions and include that with the pie. I believe that the wonderful aroma of an apple pie baking is also a gift (boy, that sounds sappy, doesn't it?). Anyway, without any further ado, here's the recipe...
